Washington DC – El Centro de Elección del Consumidor (CCC) expresa su profunda preocupación por la solución propuesta por el Departamento de Justicia en el caso de Estados Unidos contra Google LLC that aim to completely dismantle the US tech company, deprive consumers of any future innovation, and set a dangerous precedent for American competitiveness.

Following the Department of Justice’s proposed remedies archivado with the court on last month, the California-based search and ad tech giant had its chance to respond with their own filing Friday evening, blasting the government’s demands.

Yaël Ossowski, subdirectora de la Centro de elección del consumidor, responde:

“Breaking apart a cornerstone of the American Internet economy is truly without precedent and beyond the pale for a country that is supposed to revere innovation,” dijo Ossowski.

“The government wants to forever restrict the company’s abilities to compete in evolving industries like artificial intelligence, where the US is facing massive competitive pressure from more authoritarian countries like China.

“Giving the government a regulatory razor blade to carve up a central node of our tech sector does not bode well for consumers who can already choose from a host of different products fit to their taste,” added Ossowski.

“Rather than picking winners and losers, the government should tamper down its trustbusting and let consumers vote with their clicks, rather than having that decision made for them. The DOJ is continuing to advance an ideological campaign that ignores consumer choice and makes a mockery of antitrust law,” concluyó Ossowski.
